-Dinner and a movie with kev (American Sniper)and feeling so
miserably sick in a sold out theater…..also, not being able to order anything
at dinner because I felt so nauseous. I was finally able to hold down some soft
pretzels and popcorn.

Week 8

Highlights-oh week 8...you were one for the record books. so many emotions that week.- I was hit with a nasty stomach bug on top of already existing nausea. it was horrible.
-i called into work three days in a row and never thought i would feel like myself again
-kev kept us afloat with housework, grocery trips, laundry and waiting on me hand and foot

- Kev's best guy pals came to visit and he spilled the beans. he was so excited to tell them
- at the end of week 8 we had our first doctor appointment and saw the baby for the first time and heard the heartbeat. i swear it was almost magical. that same day, my granny went to heaven to be with our Lord. it was a day filled with so many highs and so many lows.

Week 9 Highlights -nausea, nausea and more nausea.
-exhausted. coming home from work and not moving from the couch-hiding my sickness at work became harder and harder. although i told my boss very early on due to working in health care and certain precautions with patients, i had not told other co-workers. that week I did and it was such a burden off my chest. the support i received from my inner work circle was amazing. they helped out with my caseload on those days I was gagging it up in the bathroom.
- we received some not so good news regarding my MIL's health, but continue to remain positive as she has already starter her chemotherapy treatment

Week 10 Highlights-my family came to visit and momma gave kev a break by helping me all around the house
- nausea still in high gear and i could barely eat anything that weekend
- starting to feel bloated and noticing an itty bit of a bump after meals

Week 11 Highlights -less nausea (praise the lord!) but still so fatigued all.the.time
-appetite finally coming back
-loving fruit (especially all berries, pineapple, watermelon and cuties)
-we had dinner with one of favorite couples we have met since moving to NKY, The Sorrells and gushed all about our future peanut with them
-on Valentines' day baby went to 1st UK basketball game and tasted the greatness of Rupp Arena ice cream
-that itty bitty bump pops right out after a big meal

Week 12 Highlights -planning our reveal/announcement
- finally telling close friends about our little secret and receiving so much love and excitement
-our second MD appt and seeing our baby do flip flops all over the place and waving little arms
- hearing the heartbeat for the second time
-being snowed in with Kev for most of the week. let me mention that he has handled nearly 100 percent of the cooking and cleaning . how did i get so lucky?

It still feels so so surreal! We are still pinching ourselves and completely over the moon about our little guy or girl.
